"Combine this case with" option in Case structure drop down menu.

[PBP]

Many times I face difficulty when I want to assign multiple condition to single case ( Enum type). I need to type text in case structure.

Example: Consider I have 4 state enum ( Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, Case 4). If I need to combine Case 1 with Case 3 then I required to type Case 3 beside Case 1.

I suggest "Combine this case with" option in Case structure drop down menu in case of enum type.

I have attached image for better explanation.

What do you propose to do with the code that is in case 1 and the code that is in case 3?  They are probably going to be different.

Hi Ravens Fan,

Look here,

I think his point was, what happens when you combine the Jan,Mar case with the Feb case?  It's going to break something...

Maybe if the only options are the unused enum values...

Long term I have always wanted a way to link multiple selector values to the code in a single frame. This way there are no crazy lists, each selector value displays a single value or a single range. Functionally it would be the same, and would be completely optional, it just strikes me as a nice way to directly see which case handles which value. This idea is a potential shortcut to longer lists, I will see where the discussion heads before I decide.
